travel

The fanciest place not only in Ponta Delgada but on the whole island of Sao Miguel. After a month on Sao Miguel I thought I saw everything but Anfiteatro became the biggest and the best discovery of the trip. Haute Azorian cuisine exists.

Probably, among all the places we visited this summer, Cannes left the most unpleasant impression. Over-crowded, extremely expensive, something is wrong with the spirit of the city… Seems like the only purpose of this place is to collect as much money from visitors as possible.

I am not the most impressible person when it’s time to name favourite towns but after our August trip I realized one fact: I want to live in Tourrette-sur-Loup, this small typical Provence village, eat cheese, drink wine, hike eat fresh bakery there. Even if I am indifferent to it in usual life.

Appearances can be deceiving. If you are tired of typical hotels with typical room and typical service, and if you need some place to stop in Ligury, I would highly recommend you this place because being disappointed for the first few minutes, later I fell in love with this small hotel.

Honestly, I never knew about Cinque Terre before my husband told me a story about colourful houses on our way to Reppia B&B hotel which we chose for a night between Italy and France. So we made detour and spent few hours walking in a pretty village of Vernazza.

Florence is the place which everybody must see. I am not joking. It’s like Paris. Or London. Or St. Petersburg. Or many other cities which have something incredibly specific. Florence is a city-museum, every corner there has a great story behind. I had only one day, and my purpose was to see as much as possible.

Italians obviously know many secrets of tasty food, especially: wine, cheese, ham, prosciutto and ice-cream. If you come in Italy and don’t allow yourself to enjoy all this gastronomic pleasures, you lose time and money because Italy is not only art, and Bologna is not just a city…

I already told that during the Italy-France trip we preferred to stay not in the cities which we planned to visit but somewhere next to it. Bologna became the first and the last exception because we stayed in San Lazzaro which is basically Bologna.

Bologna was the first stop in our trip from Ljubljana to Marseille and back and this amazing town gave me unforgettable emotions and almost forgotten feeling of being a normal traveler with camera, museum tickets and leaflets.
